Liverpool Must Scrape Money Together to Sign £22m Wing Wizard

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 8:07 pm

i’m so annoyed with gerrard’s attitude right now that i’d happily take £35m for him and use that money to buy silva.

NO MONEY,NO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE,NO CHANCE.

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 8:35 pm

I agree.Sell Gerrard, Carragher, Kuyt, Babel, Riera, Itanje, Aurelio, Degan and Lucas. Bring in Turin, Silva, Capel, Kjaar/Shawcross, Baines/Cissoko and Negredo/Hulk. Sure we’ll concede goals but we’ll score alot more and play exciting football.

gutter mouth @ 8.21
do u fancy babel

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 8:49 pm

to be fair, im agreeing with the first response to this post.
I thought stevie had turned a corner, and thought his game was gradually getting better, but then when things got a little tough against willing opposition, he would simply hang his head. Where on earth has his passion and drive gone? Where has his love for LFC gone? He doesn’t even look proud to be the captain of our glorious club anymore. . .I really hate this, and if it were to carry on like this untill the end of the season, i wouldn’t ignor offers from real or inter if the money was right.
Im just praying stevie proves everyone wrong sooner rather then later. i know he’s had injury problems, and because of that he’s been in and out of the squad, but we never had this probelm before with him. There was always so much power and drive from him whenever he came back into the squad from something. He could lift a team from tatters, get decisive goals, play that perfect pass and open up the whole game.
Where has our captain gone???
If found, please send back to anfield.

why does this site just pull numbers out of air. The lack of accuracy undermines your point of view. It just seems like a ploy for attention

What a bollox artical… It would be nice to sign Silva but it would cost alot more than 20 mil… why would Valencia accept that when they can easily get 30 from City?

Get the fucking yanks out.

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 9:15 pm

babel has been in impresing form latey just he never gets the chance and it really gets on my nerves. i mean why put kuyt on wing wen hes slow and a striker get babel their , probs his natural posiion get kuyt in strike with torres

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Really poor article, the prospect of silva has long gone, yes Ryan babel will be surpluss come the summer(and no I’m not anti babel I just know when someone isn’t going to make it here). If anything we will look to arda turan come the summer, he unlike silva wants to join us and he’ll cost a fraction of silva yet offer pretty much the same amount of ability.

YNWA-starve the yanks!

Bullshit Retryboy

Babel everytime he plays he creates chances and scores, What about Lille he could of easily put one or two into the back of the net but Did he??

Yes, he can do a one – two with torres but who gives a crap if he cant score.

they are supporting the team we all want the team to be great again we don’t support rafa though who has single handedly ruined our season, and don’t bang on about him having no money our biggest buy under the previous owners was 14m for cisse or do people forget that, our owners havenever been renowned for splashing the cash the only difference is these owners are working behind the scenes to get money flowing rather than doing a chelsea or city and fair play. they employ rafa to manage the team and he’s not managing he needs to go

anonymous - March 12th, 2010 at 11:22 pm

I am so tired of these pointless articles. They are absolute rubbish and so irrelevant. We should buy this £20 million player or that. Look we don’t have a pot to tiddle in as the money is being sucked out the club and the limited funds we have is generated through player sales or TV money. David Silva you are having a laugh. Try bargain basement shopping of the Portsmouth talent, it’s a more realistic option. Get realistic Maxi is where we are at not bloody Silva!

PL Transfer Targets Summer 2010 Chelsea

I’m pretty sure David Silva will be heading to United, Barca or Chelsea in the Summer, and Villa and Mata will probably go one of those ways as well.

Deco, Belletti, Ferreira and Malouda OUT Definitely

Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Kalou, Anelka OUT Possibly

DECO: The options; RVDV, Mata, Silva, Hamsik, Dzagoev, Pjanic, Teixeira, Kaka, Alcantara, Danny

Its no secret that Chelsea are chasing Hamsik and that RVDV has been mentioned is the Chelsea/RM jostling of recent times.Question is will Hamsik leave Italy (Inter Offer) and will RVDV give a poor showing here too. Teixeira, Dzagoev and Pjanic are young, but we could certainly use their youth, and with Lampard ageing signing two of them, but only bringing one to the Bridge for now is certainly not out of the question. Mata and Silva are certainly in the mix but there will be a lot of competition for their signatures. Kaka is th dark horse, he almost joined Chelsea in 2005, is a good mate of Carlo and is unhappy and unproductive at RM. Thiago Alcantara would be good, but I’d rather him to come in a few years, maybe a loan to Twente ? Danny would be a good signing but perhaps not quite as good as David Silva or Kaka

MALOUDA: options; di Maria, Ribery, Krasic, Silva, Mata, Urreta, Dzagoev, Pjanic, Teixeira, Alcantara, Ki, Hazard

di Maria and Ribery are the obvious choices, but again there will be war for their signatures. Krasic would be great, but at the moment he seems destined to go elsewhere. Again Silva and Mata are propositions, but Mata emerges as the favourite with his left wing experience. I like Urreta and he would be great alongside Kakuta, di Maria or Ribery, but he’s probably a 2012 signing. Dzagoev, Teixeira and Pjanic are all young, they could spend some time on the left before moving to the centre of midfield. Thiago Alcantara would be good, but I’d rather him to come in a few years, maybe a loan to Twente ? Ki Sung–Yueng is talented and would be a boon for Chelsea merch sales in Korea. Hazard has been very impressive but I think we’d face a stiff fight from AW for him.

BELLETTI and FERREIRA: the options; S Taylor, M Mancienne, N Subotic, D Luiz

Mancienne is the cheapest option, with Taylor estimated at about 9 million and considerably more for Subotic, this may come down to price. D Luiz however is probably the best option.

JOE COLE; Options; Schwiensteiger, Stoch, Assulin

Schweinsteiger is the ideal replacement for Ballack but he could also replace Joe Cole, making Stoch the probable pick, its a shame Maxi went to Liverpool then he would have been ideal. Gai Assulin would be a great get but we are competing with AFC for him.

ASHLEY COLE: Options: Vargas, Dani Alves

Vargas is the only real option I see, i hope we don’t loose Ashley, though Vargas is good. Alves obvioulsy plays on the right and is not a real option to replace Ashley, but could be part of swap deal with Barca for Ashley

ANELKA: Options: Villa, Pato, Aguero, Gomis, Balotelli, Lacina Traore

Villa is expensive and ageing but good, Pato seems destined to one day join Chelsea, Aguero should if he stops mucking us about, Gomis is strong talented and young, as is Balotelli while Lacina Traore at 6′8 would obviously help us maintain our size advantage.

KALOU: Options: Nilmar, Morimoto

Morimoto is a bright young star in Serie A, and would blast our Japanese Merch sales into the stratosphere. Villreal’s cash crisis may see Nilmar move to the Bridge, which would be a good move.

Youth Striker: Lukaku, and potentially Christian Eriksen as well.

GK: Igor Akinfeev is now probably a highly probable signing given Hilario’s recent performances, a fight between him and Cech for the No1 spot would be a good problem to have.

^^ so your point is exactly?

All that effort that has less meaning than a two word answer.

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 1:32 am

I am an Arsenal supporter but I think your problems started with Benitez ’s transfers last summer where he made some strange decisions. After last season you only needed the right 2 or 3 transfer decisions to be serious contenders this season. Your main issue is that you have been crying out for another world class striker to partner Torres for 2 years now and this should have been the priority. The Johnson for Arbeloa deal was stupid. Not that Johnson is not a slight improvement on Arbeloa but if you are a club that has a budget then this was wasted money for very little improvement to the squad. It would have been an ok deal for Man City as it would have had no bearing on any other critical players required for the squad.

While gerrard is a player that can play almost anywhere i believe he is wasted higher up the pitch as the second striker. His best position is in deeper midfield where he can dictate the game and from here he can time his runs into the box from deeper positions where he will not be picked up so easily. You would naturally think that playing higher up the pitch would get him more goals but I watched our Cesc in this position last year and he was less a goal threat as the defenders always knew where he was. Gerrard and Cesc are similar in that they have good football brains and will be more effective from deeper when they can ghost into the box without being picked up and still have the space to control the game with their passing ability.

Benitez should have kept Alonso, (and made amends with him), and sold Mascherano instead. I think either of the spanish giants would have forked out £35m for him. If you took this and outlayed £40m for David Villa you are only down £5m. Buy Scott Parker for maybe £8m and you have another good defensive midfield option. The Villa and Parker vs Mascherano deals leave you £13m down but selling the likes of Ngog, Voronin and Zhar would get some of that back. You have maybe only spent £7m for the season with these deals. I would keep Babel to try and develop him as he has some raw talent and could yet be a player.

With Villa and Torres up front and the likes of gerrard and Alonso dictating the game your first 11, when fit, could have been one of the best in the world. Even with injuries to say Gerrard and Torres you could still field Alonso and Villa and still be strong. I know the Americans have done you no favours but for not much net outlay you could have really strengthened from last year and for me the fault here is with the manager and his management of who should leave and who should have come in.

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 4:20 am

for once i agree with donavan. i wouldnt pay more than 15 million for villa. hes 30 for christ sake and even spending 15 million is risking only getting one season out of him. hes whole game is based on pace and being nippy as well as putting it in the net. as soon as he starts slowing down he is half the player. i would rather spend that 40 million you said on 3-4 younger (not necessarily young) top players like sessegnon, kjaer, turan or krasic. you could probably get any 2 of them for under 40 million and will be much more of an investment as well as immediate gain

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 8:21 am

bring in martin o’neill or alex mcleish because rafa has done all he can and should leave with hopefully a top 4 place and some dignity remaining

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 12:11 pm

Sign hazard for about 18m.You saw what he did to us on Thursday.Also sign kjaer(15m),cairney(5m),jovanovic(free)and azilipueta(10m)and sell babel(10m),riera(8m),el zhar(2m),plessis(3m),degen(2m),san jose(3m)and nemeth(6m).net spend 14m.I would like to keep nemeth but he wants to stay in athens.

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 1:33 pm

Why is everyone critisising Lucas. He is improving unlike F*****g Gerrard. he has been better than average for most games, unlike Carra or Masch who have been pretty S**t in alot of games and have only improved recently!

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 3:12 pm

Wow, Babel creates every 108 minutes, Really thats astonishing, There is better in our squad Retryboy so stop Shagging Babel.

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 3:54 pm

Anyone that thinks that Lucas is improving doesn’t have a clue about football and what is required to be a very good player. The fact that Liverpool have been so poor this year is that there is nothing coming from midfiled. Lucas cannot pass, doesn’t create chances, doesn’t shoot, doesn’t score goals, cannot tackle, cannot head, has no tactical awareness and having him in the team is a waste. Now supporters are waking up to how important Alonso was for the team. Now they realise how Benitez messed up by chasing Barry, then Alonso has a great season, then he goes and Benitez misses Barry and gets a useless, lightweight sicknote who has been another waste of £20m. Benitez and the Yanks have made the club a laughing stock. Gerrard hasn’t performed this season because he realised after the first few games that Liverpool hadn’t improved the team and it was going to be another wasted season. Gerrard has outperformed everyone for years and now beacuse his form has dipped we can see that Liverpool are just a bunch of lightweights. Even if Benitez was given £200m he wouldnt get the correct players and he and the Yanks should do the honorable thing and go.

DOESNOT EVEN MATTER MINUTELY WHEN COMPARED TO THE URGENCY
OF STRENGTHENING THE SQAUD “I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
RIGHT NOW IS WHAT WE WILL SPEND AND WHO ALL ARE HEADING TO ANFIELD IN
NEXT SEASON.
WE NEED AT LEAST 4 WORLD CLASS PLAYERS ELSE ,,,WELL THERE’S NO ELSE WE
NEED THE PLAYERS AND THAT’S IT.

APPARENTLY JUVENTUS ARE SPENDING 80 million IN SUMMER ……….
WE SHOULD AT LEAST DO 40 M AND THAT TOO QUICKLY ELSE ALL THE
TARGETS , OR RATHER THE INTRESTED ONE’S WILL BE LURED TO LIKES OF
MANU,CITEH ,BARCA ,MADRID AND ADD JUVENTUS TO THE LIST………..

MANU ARE DESPERATE FOR A FEW GOOD SIGNINGS AND SO ARE JUVENTUS …
CITEH , BARCA AND MADRID SIGN FOR FUN……………..

SO WE HAVE TO PRIORTIZE OUR TARGETS AND ADD QUICKLY IN SUMMER ELSE
IT WILL BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE .
PLUS ELNINO HAS WARNED PLAYING WITH A MEDIOCRE TEAM WE HAVE AND IF
WE FAIL TO QUALIFY FOR CL MAY BE BARCA WILL HAVE WHAT THEY WANT AND WE WHAT

taye 12m
milan free
nemeth he’s ourS we own him….

so thats fine
sell
riera 8m
elzhar3m
ngog 8/9m(OR BABEL BUT I WOLD KEEP BABEL )
degen 2m
kuyt 8m (sell him to juventus RIGHT TIME RIGHT PRICE).
fund 10m (i am not expecting more if we get it would be like wow! form me but hicks lost
big money and no expectency here).

around 40m . we shold atleast add this much to our suad.
we would add 5 quality player and thats almost half a team and i won’t
say we would win the world with this but WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE A SHOT!.

PS: MAY BE WE COULD SIGN A STRIKER IF WE GET MORE FUNDS +OUR SAVINGS,UNLIKELY BUT

rafa has to go , not really a question any more of wether he’s good or bad , simply he’s lost the players ( and majority of us supporters ) backing ! does anyone (rafa believers or knockers ) disagree ?
2 options only
1 . change the players ( we ain’t gonna get top four people so who’s gunna come to us with no champions league football and if all our challengers perform no europa either )
2.change the manager . ok if he refuses to fall on his sword it’ll cost supposedly 20 mil but then same problem as with players who’s gunna want to come here ? with the car crash of ownership we’ve got .
option 2 is my personal choice , look at chelsea’ s turn about in performance when gus came , ok not straight away (these multi million players egos take some soothing) , but no squad changes just different approach with them .

anonymous - March 13th, 2010 at 6:44 pm

No Silva. Overpriced and too weak i’d get Turan and Mata, a CB( Kjaer if possible), Jovanovic and a LB.

Matty K

Liverpool are in need of a more attacking formation & tactics more than any player. Watch the movement of Ass-enal off the ball with through balls consistently hitting there man while we pass side & backwards to a flat player- no bodies in motion make it so predictable. Everyone claims a need for strikers- yes Torres needs more help but the service he recieves is the real prob- Stevie G is down on enthusiasm & has lost that step of pace that used to break him away from defenders(maybe still injured) but desire is also lacking. Lucas is slow & lacks vision & execution to be productive.Carra is caught out of position consistently & looks uncomfortable due to a struggle to keep up with the quicker players while Insua- dont know if he is up to it although does the odd good play. Personally think Babbel has not had a fair go since day 1 with limited game time & with a bit more confidence has potential to be a game breaker (needs to work on his vision when creating chances -often shreds the defence then looks unsure where to go or to see the open man). Great to keep being linked to big names but A- Can we afford them??
B- Lets clean out deadwood & add the $$$
C-Whats the use of these great attacking players
if we dont play a more positive attacking game.
To conclude my rant i say sell Lucas , Kuyt , Insua ,Carra (protest all you like my opinion) & again i feel Stevie G is almost in this group – an all time favourite but there comes a time & if its an injury or hes just unhappy playing under a certain manager would love him to stay & come back to form -if not there 30+mill to help our cause. By the way – how much do we get for Rafa -add him to players waving goodbye- i dont like watching his style of football & the players do not seem to enjoy being part of it -in fact put him at the top of the chopping block NOW.

Nring in some english re-inforcements. liverpool are slowly losing there identity. how many of the foreign imports actually no about the kop and the tradition? bring in shawcross on the cheap befor hes price tag influctuates, bring in joe cole on a free with the promise of regular football, bring back warnock or riise( foreign i know but is the best left back weve had in the last decade, and looks world class compared to our recent buys). james milner is worth a large fee as he will prove to be world class and could be the perfect long term successor to gerrard. the lad jobi mcenuff looks pretty decent from reading.
